Delhi Elections 2025: All citizens above 60 years of age in Delhi will get free treatment under the 'Sanjeevani Yojna', the AAP announced ahead of Delhi elections scheduled to be held in February. The announcement comes days after the party announced that it would give Rs 2,100 to all women above the age of 18 if it comes back to power.

दिल्ली के हमारे सभी बुजुर्गों के लिए ख़ुशख़बरी। दिल्ली में 60 साल से ज़्यादा उम्र के सभी नागरिकों का इलाज मुफ़्त होगा। ये केजरीवाल की गारंटी है। @ArvindKejriwal जी LIVE https://t.co/B5sAh1Ciqs

"This is a guarantee from the Kejriwal government for all our elderly residents in Delhi," Kejriwal said.

There will be no upper limit on the cost of treatment and the registration for this will start in a day or two. "AAP workers will come to your home for registration. They will give you a card, keep it safe. Once we come into power after the elections, this policy will be implemented," Mr Kejriwal said.

On December 12, Kejriwal announced 'Mahila Samman Yojana', which was approved in the Delhi Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Under the scheme, the AAP government is giving Rs 1,000 per month to women in the national capital. The amount will be increased to Rs 2,100 every month if AAP wins the election, scheduled to be held in February next year.

About 38 lakh of 67 lakh women in Delhi will be eligible for this scheme. Giving Mahila Samman Nidhi to all these women will put an additional burden of more than 4,000 crores on the Finance Department.

AAP Announces Candidates For All 70 Seats

AAP has announced its candidates for all 70 seats in Delhi. Kejriwal will contest from New Delhi constituency for the fourth consecutive time, while Chief Minister Atishi will seek re-election from Kalkaji.
